I'm doing the updating and figuring-outing right now, so there's gonna be more interesting shit soon.. I wonder if I'm allowed to swear there too?

How about some pics?

2009-04-29T14:37:00.005+02:00

Here you go, these are all from my telephone picture taking machine.
Random shots from the season.

Austria's version of 7-11, a 24-7 milk machine that will serve you fresh milk right out of a stinky barn. Good thing because Dimi gets really thirsty from wearing those pants all day.

This doesn't even need a funny caption.

Speaking of thirsty, at the Wängel Tängel contest in Austria we made Niki Korpela drink as much as he could out of this bottle in one sip. The greedy little bastard finished the whole bottle.

Before Niki drank his bottle he made a bet with Ethan. Ethan had to drink at least the same or more than Niki or else he had to pee his pants, a sophisticated game really. Well, he chugged a bottle of red wine.. He got kinda silly after that.

This is Eirik Haugo's gangsta pose, it scares white people enough to leave their wallets.

Politically uncorrect candy in Serbia, it's called African - Serbian candy you silly Serbians.

If you use a stamp while wearing an Airblaster Ninjasuit in Serbia you will burn.

After I used this toilett it flushed it self and flew away, Amsterdam airport is next level.

Dimi's backing skills are somewhat less than perfect.

Gangsta pose from Kamchatka, Russia. Fuck dogs, crabs is where it's at. Fuck snoop, it's all about Clamp Crabby Crabb, the C-r-a doubble Bizzle with his mind on the Rubel and the Rubel on his mind.

This is Satan's footprint in a church in Munich, and that's Juuso's foot in a church in Munich. They are the same size but I doubt ol' Belzebub was wearing white loafers.

Going back from Munich, Juuso was scared he pissed satan of and went a bit faster than usual.

Going to Trysil.

2009-04-20T16:48:00.003+02:00

I'm on my way to Trysil, Norway, to do a photoshoot.
Gonna be the first day of park shooting and also the first time shooting in Norway this winter. I love to shoot in Norway, so much fun and I don't spend a fortune on phone bills each month. Who knows, I might have internet connection, that would be great.. fuck, I'm starting to sound like a fucked up record. "internet connection, internet connection",who gives a crap?
No more whinining.

Here's a pic of Ethan Morgan, Niki Korpela, some hand and me. It's from the Wängel Tängel contest in Austria were we got third (The Pirate Significuntz team that is) and I won the "best handplant award". I didn't write about it because I didn't have internet..

The baseball bat is the trophy, it's always a good idea to give too drunk people a baseball bat and alot of cash.

Keeping my promise.

2009-04-17T21:54:00.003+02:00

I did it, I made a post today too!
This is just a preview, it's still slightly under construction.

Under construction, live pretty damn soon.

I suck

2009-04-16T22:23:00.002+02:00

But it might change, who the fuck knows?
I have at least decided after getting shit from a burrito sales lady to try to get this thing back to life. But then again, I have promised that before, haven't I? Yes I have, and I'm likely to break my promise again as easily as the Burrito lady orders extra nachos for lunch.. Nah,kidding, I'm gonna do an effort this time. If I have internet, there will be updates.
Pinky swear.

I'm in Austria and I smell bad.

2009-03-15T08:20:00.009+01:00

Blooooog fucking blog.
It's not like I try to suck at blogging, it jst happens. We share this USB modem that picks up internet waves right out of thin air. The problem is that it's unstable, slow and we're not able to really upload or download anything. But at least we got internet, a big upgrade from previous years.

I'm still in Austria, nothing bad about Austria but I'm starting to get pretty fed up with this country. I guess it's just because we haven't had nice weather in like one month. It's been blizzards, fog, rain, storm and a lot of other funny weather conditions that makes snowboarding kinda hard to do.

To make it even more fun, the landlord decided to cut of heating and water, so at the moment we smell bad and we're kinda cold. It's nice to sit indoors with flanel jackets on, it's like camping inside.

I've been shooting some pics lately that I planned to put up on my blog, and here are some of them.

Haugo blasting out mad ollies on mad pillows, he even stomped it, daaaaaaaaaamn!

I do methods, if you're going of big cliffs like this you better go without goggels and beanies to make it even more extreme.

Lift lines with Dutch people in skiboots is frustrating and funny at the same time.

Clem the french filmer enjoying the view in an Austrian mountain hotel.

Haugo is trying to find our cars, he had a metal detector and found it eventually.

Haugo takes trains and hydrates himself, he doesn't like us watching though.

Kalle trying to find out where the kicker and landing is, not easy in a blizzard.

Dimitri and Monika.

Our view right before Stephan Maurer drove into Dimitri.

This dude is a bit too gay, even for a hairdresser sculpture. Nothing wrong with gays though, but there's a lot wrong with this guy.

Kalle is pissed off at the coconut, coconuts are hard to open.

Stab stab stab!!

Or just go for caveman style, smash!

I'm gonna buy this.

Hey!

2009-03-09T00:15:00.004+01:00

Soooooo.. been a long time.. drinking some beers with good friends Kalle(who`s not drinking cause he`s driving), Justin, Claudia (Burritos el differente), Carlos (famous for face expressions) and his roommate Babsi.
I promised freddie five finger to do an update so I did..
I`m gonna try to do this more often now..
Blogging is hard in a country that is internet challenged.

Muy bueno, quanta costa cerveza senorita? Putas botas naranjas! Culo!

Out of the internet desert.

2009-02-26T23:07:00.002+01:00

Finally!
I'm out of web Sahara.
Holy fuck, how hard is it to get with the program and just have wifi around?
I'll write something interesting soon, but now I'm too tired.

2009-02-17T23:24:00.003+01:00

We got about 1 meter of snow (about 3 feet if you don't work with the metric system) in the last 24 hours, it's basically like swimming in cold white water with a snowboard and goggels.. it works but it's weird and hard.
Not complaining though.

I'm in Austria

Back from Serbia

2009-02-13T12:44:00.006+01:00

I'm sitting in Carlos Blanchard's appartment in Innsbruck now, listening to his rock n roll collection, he got some good music for sure and people who know him should learn a bit from that digital music collection of his. It's snowing outside and I'm stoked that yesterday is just that, yesterday. Even though today is Friday 13th, there's no way it can beat Thursday 12th. But let's start with Wednesday.

It was our last day riding in Serbia and we were supposed to put on a second pro show in the slopestyle. The cool thing though is that it started snowing like hell. It didn't take long before the whole slope was covered in a fluffy pow blanket. There was no way we could get enough speed for the kickers so we built a small stepdown on the knuckle of the big jump and had a powder session. I have never been to a more fun comp/event than that. People were going nuts over 3's, pow slashes and frontflips. We finished the day with a big party with two DJs that are famous, don't really know why they're famous though, if that's good DJ'ing I think there's good money to be made for anyone with a turntable. After a DJ named Goldie had done a pretty good job trying to rape my ears, Carlos and I decided we couldn't handle it anymore, so we went to bed, our ride to the airport was at 8 o'clock the next morning.
And here is where the cursed day of Thursday the 12th start.

- We got a slow start because the cars were frozen shut, we all had to climb in to the van through the drivers seat, not a big deal but just slightly annoying.

- We start driving, the riders in a van and our boardbags in a pick up truck. After 15 minutes the pick up crashes with another car in a left turn. The tracks in the snow shows that the other car was clearly over in the left lane and it should be easliy to get the papers done. While they call the cops and try to figure it all out we start driving for the airport because we got a flight to catch and we're slightly behind schedule (Carlos and my flight that is, the others had later flights).

- We drive for another hour, still no sight of the pick up with our board bags when suddenly our car starts slowing down and our driver starts to swear in Serbian and German. Our car was moving like a drunk on a pogo stick and we had no idea what was wrong. We called the car rental and they wouldn't be able to help us out in at least 1.5 hour. With that added time to our travel, there was no way Carlos and I would catch our flight. No big deal though, the rental car company would have to pick up the tab and we could get an evening in Belgrade and a flight the next morning, we were actually a bit stoked taht we were gonna see the Caiptol of Ex-Yugoslavia.

Here we are stuck somewhere in the Serbian Country side, Heinz Löhle and Clement the Pirate Filmer are stoked.

This is Carlos' reaction to the van breaking down somewhere in the Serbian countryside.

- After an hour the pick up truck comes with all our board bags, turns out they were stuck with the cops for over an hour. The cops tried to play some tricks on them since the other guys involved were locals, locals stick together you know. They were about to get royally screwed over when Marko, the arranger of the whole event just called his buddy who happens to be the chief of police in the area, suddenly the cops were a bit more willing to help the out-of-towners out. They even agreed to fill out the neccesairy forms to report the accident.

- Carlos and I jumped in to the pick up truck as we speed away trying to get to the airport in time. Not an easy mission when you have to go about 200 km's in 1 hour. Marko was even trying to see if it there was any way he could hold back the plane for some time, you just got to love his optimism.

This is Carlos expression when we suddenly see the broken down van pass us on the left in about 300 km/h. The car had magically started to work 10 minutes after we had left and they had been driving like crazy to catch up with us. We decide that the van is going to take us to the aiport faster than the pickup.

- We change cars again, Carlos and I now jump in to the van that can easily drive too fast for the for the snowy conditions.

Carlos get's tired from changing cars all the time. Jocki is tired from partying.

- There is no way in hell we're gonna make our flights now, but we can still make the other guy's flights.. If the Van hadn't broken down again. We were still about 1 hour away from the airport when the piece of shit rental car fucking died again. This time it didn't start after being shut of for 15 minutes.

This is what Carlos thinks of the car breaking down the second time.

- Luckily the car broke down right next to a gas station , so we were drinking some coffee and eating chips for a while when we got a call from the rental company telling us that they wouldn't be able to get us a new car right away, so we had to wait for another hour, now 3 of the other guys had officially lost their flights too.

Carlos get's the news about us having to wait another hour for the new car.

- The new car arrive, we get a call from Marko the arranger and he tells us that Carlos and I have a new flight, it's 5 hours later than our original flight and we should be able to make that flight easily. We're not going to see Belgrade after all but at least we have a flight.

Carlos had to change cars again and got sleepy, Clement also got sleepy.

- We drive to Belgrade without any problems, except that the two remaining riders lose their flights as we hit a traffic jam.

- We are stuck in traffic and our driver from the rental car company from hell isn't paying attention to the traffic, so we crash with the car in front of us... Luckily we were going slow, so nothing happened, just slowed us down another 10 minutes, it's now starting to look a bit dark for our re booked flight too.

This is what Carlos looks like after our second crash of the day.

- The traffic jam suddenly loosens up and we get to the airport in time. We try to check in, and this conversation takes place.

Rude airport dude: "We have a problem, you guys are late, you're fucked."
Us: "But we re-booked our flights, it's all taken care of"
Rude airport dude: "No"
Us: "I'm pretty sure it is, we called and took care of it a couple of hours ago, can't you just check again and help us out?"
Rude airport dude: "No, you guys don't have any tickets, it's not my problem"
Us: "Pretty sure you're wrong, could you please talk to Marko over there"
Marko The arranger to the Rude airport dude: "bla bla bla in Serbian"
Rude airport dude: "OK guys, here are your tickets"
Me to Carlos "What the fuck just happened?"
Carlos: "No idea"

And then we checked in without any trouble at all, didn't pay any overweight and we were personally escorted to the bulky luggage check-in by a nice lady.
I have no idea what Marko told that guy, but with a few seconds of magical Serbian talk and there wasn't a problem in sight.

Jocki Köfler and Clement managed to catch their flight after all due to a 2 hour delay, the skier dudes managed to get new tickets with out too much hassle and Heinz Löhle ended up on the same flight as us thanks to a lot of magic Serbian talk from Marko.

"Hey Carlos, what do you think the rest of the day will bring?"

What a fucking interesting trip, hope you bothered to read all of this.
Thanks everyone in Serbia, you guys rule.

Aloha from Serbia

2009-02-11T10:32:00.002+01:00

Sitting in the reception of our hotel in Kapaonik, Serbia. It's snowing like hell outside and I'm a bit bummed that the breakfast buffet ran out of coffee too early. But it's all good, the hotel got small cafes all over the place and getting a nice cup of coffee will set me back about 1 Euro or something like that.
Serbia is a lot different than I thought it would be, even though we hear stories about landmines in the back country and a Tomahawk missile hitting the top of the mountain a couple of years ago, I have nothing but good stuff to say about Serbia. This place is so much fun. Good and greasy food (damn greasy actually, going on a diet when I get back home) and friendly people. They play a lot of techno music though, luckily I have developed an effective defense system for that, my ears usually block it out right away.
But speaking of music, we did a demo show yesterday. Usually on events like that they play music that pisses me of and makes sure that I'm everything but stoked to drop in. It's kinda like going to a wedding and the only music they play is depressive Emo crap, just doesn't work. But here they actually played metal, so fucking cool! Dropping in to Ratamahata by Sepultura beats dropping in to some lame electronica bullshit any day.

Serbia

2009-02-07T20:29:00.003+01:00

Going to Serbia tomorrow.
Yet a country I know absolutely nothing about. Serbia, serbia, serbia.. I've been there once before, but only on the highway at nighttime driving from Bulgaria to.... er... Slovenia maybe? I'm bad with geography.
This is gonna be fun.

My buddy Ludschi told me to put in a picture on this blogpost, but I got no relevant pictures.
Here's a drawing my friend Freddie Five Finger drew for me.

This drawing scares me quite a bit, not a guy you wanna meet at night for sure.. Not at daytime either I guess. Artwork by Freddie Five Finger.

Austrian hospital trip

2009-02-06T18:09:00.006+01:00

Long time since the last blog post, it haven't exactly been easy getting stuff out. I'm now on a internet connection that makes a dial-up seem like the future of communication technology.
I'm in Austria and I'm shooting, trying to milk whatever is left of the last snowfall. We managed to get some decent looking kickers and got some cool tricks down. The bad part about the kicker is that they are taking out our riders like drunk flies. In 2 days 2 of our riders had to go to the hospital, Teo Konttinen even had to be picked up by helicopter. We were worried he had fucked himself up seriously and it didn't get better when he managed to utter "I think I have broken my back". Turned out the back wasn't broken after all and he's walking now, it takes him about 2 minutes to get out of bed but at least it's nothing serious. I guess he just got himself the mother of all bruises.
Osa, one of the Russian Pirate riders, overshot a kicker today and dislocated his shoulder. He got his arm in a sling but he's smiling, takes more than a dislocated shoulder to take a Kamchatkan bear out. Fingers crossed for tomorrow, hope that that will be the last hospital visit for our crew this trip.

Jib Trip

2009-01-25T14:24:00.002+01:00

Back from the jib trip with the Russians. Yet again we were bitch-slapped in the face by plus-degrees. The temperature had transformed the snow in to a crusty layer of white wetness. We did manage to get some shots though. Filming jibs is fun because you never have to hike more than a couple of meters and the landing doesn't get fucked up if someone fucks up and land on some body parts in stead of the board. The problem with jibs though is that they tend to be hard on knees, and they gave my knees a little beating the other day. No biggie though, just a small owie that let's me take a couple of days off. Landing flat from house drops is so lame, have to stop doing that and try to hit the landings in stead.

This is what Russians do at house parties, Roshambo where the loser gets a little smack on the forehead, it's very classy.

Passing the Russians on the highway, classy.

Travelling

2009-01-20T07:43:00.003+01:00

As you might have understood, we have started shooting for next years Pirate Movie Productions project. This of course means a looooot of time on the road. Been up since 6.30 this morning packing, finishing up on emails and thinking "man, I could at least have slept another 30 minutes".
I'm heading toward Germany or Czech republic, not quite sure actually, but I'm traveling with a bunch of Russians so I don't really care anyway. Russians are funny, they have promised to teach me some Russian on this trip and I'm looking forward to it. Who knows if this trip is going to be another inter-njet trip or if we gonna tumble over some free Internet laying about. Hopefully I'll be able to do some updates, because those Russians are damn funny. Oh! Dmitri just woke up, time to go.. No wait, his first words this morning was "maybe we shouldn't go", not exactly sure why but I guess it was just his need of saying strange things that kicked in.

Yet another contest

2009-01-17T17:16:00.003+01:00

I've been busy, really busy. Been shooting with pirates down in Italy and we haven't been blessed with internet connection for over a week. So if it's not my fault, I'm not gonna feel bad for not updating. That makes sense, right?

What you can do though, in stead off thinking that Italy story was a lame excuse, is to enter a web page which is magically linked through the pic below and enter the king of S.N.O.W contest to win some sick K2 Auto bindings. Those bindings are so sick, thumbs up from other pros riding for other companies (so naturally no names being mentioned here, gonna keep this classy) who tried my board for sidesliping inruns in the spaghetti backcountry.

The trick you have to copy is a frontside bardslide to fakie (not this pic though, that's a fs tail wheelie rocker binding cozy slash with a sweet mustasche, but I guess you knew that already), you can easily pull that off and win those bindings.

I'm starting to become a really serious athlete. Up at 4 AM, jog for 2 hours, protein shakes, personal trainer, heavy carb diet, special sport shrink to help me achieve my goals, coverage in newspapers.
Everything listed here is a stinking lie, except for one thing. If you know Norwegian you can read the story, if you just like to look at pictures in foreign newspapers you can also do that by clicking the pic below.

New Years Resolution

2009-01-05T20:47:00.002+01:00

As a new years resolution, I will promise to read and check my blog posts before I post them. We might see a slight improvement when it comes to grammar and stuff like that. Emphasis on the "might"-part by the way, I'm Norwegian, don't expect too much.

* Grammar check for this post: Maybe OK. *

"I don't give a fuck what you wear"

2009-01-05T10:43:00.004+01:00

There's a bunch small pricks out there that feel that it's necessary to make a fucking big deal about what other people wear on the hill. It's so damn retarded I'm gonna let Bradshaw tell you about in stead.
I used to hang out with Bradshaw back in the days by the way, that's one cool dude. No wait, he's one thugged out G, ya heard, wit doze pantz he gotz to be ghetto yo.
Fuck, just making fun of the whole clothing style discussion with that stupid comment made my morals hurt. It must be morally painful being so ignorant.

Pirate Web Log Scandinavia!

2009-01-02T10:35:00.003+01:00

The Pirates posted a web log about our annual Scandi spring trip.
I always look forward to that trip, it's so good to shoot at home, just the fact that you understand what everyone is saying is a fucking great. In addition to being to be "back home" (when you spend so much time abroad you start to include all of Scandinavia as home, I guess it's our viking blood kicking in) we also end up finding a bunch of sweet spots so it's usually also a very productive trip.
To be honest I'm already looking forward to do this trip again this year and it's only the beginning of the season, hope we'll get a lot of snow this year too. Well anyways, check it out,

Happy New Year!!

2008-12-31T15:35:00.005+01:00

Ahhhhhh!! Damn it's going to be good to be done with 2008, it feels so out of date, so last year.

I decided to put some last effort in to 2008, try to be productive until the very end in stead of just stuffing my face with X-mas sweets. I went out shredding with some friends the other day and managed to put together a little edit from our local hills. Cruising those hills is always the best at this time of year, the parks are up but everything is small and you just have to make the best out of it. Luckily we had a lot of cold weather so they have produced a lot of snow and managed to put up pretty rad parks already, small rad parks.

That's right you scallywags!
I'm back in blog-updating mode, and that means you're more than welcome to waste more of your precious online time in my web-presence.

The Pirate's decided to give all of you a Christmas present and posted interviews with all the riders on the Pirate website. There's a couple of gems in there, so go through them all, look at it as a treasure hunt in Pirate land.

I talk and about junk and stuff.

Last Days in Austria

2008-12-23T08:12:00.007+01:00

I guess the last days in Austria is what drained all the energy out of me. I had a bunch to catch up on and that made it hard to locate any motivation to update this blog, even if I had a magical motivation GPS.

The last days of my Austria trip was spent in an awesome place called Def Raggn in East Tirol. After hanging out in the Innsbruck / Arlberg area for a while, we decided that we would most likely be better off in East Tirol where it had been snowing like hell and people had been living without a connection to the outside world for a couple of days due to the heavy snowfall. When we got there we were so fucking happy to see how much snow they had, an immediate feeling of having made the right decision.
But here's the kind gnarly part of our stay. We stayed in an old hunters cabin, a pretty nice touch to our mountain trip really, beside the fact that it was fucking freezing. The lack of electricity, water and heating seem to do that to old uninsulated mountain cabins. To be fair, we had some heating in the kitchen, a small fire stove that we tried to keep going continuously without any luck. So all my clothes and boots stayed nice and wet/damp the whole trip which turned my boardbag into a biological bomb when it finally hit the airport after 4 days of heavy bacteria colonizing. I seriously hope some of the airport security staff opened it to do a closer inspection, it would be a nice payback for all the hassle they give me each time I fly.
But let's get back to the cabin.
Before I went to sleep each day I would get in my sleeping bag still wearing my smelly super-underwear and a beanie, zip it all up while I put on a blanket. In the light of four candles or Carlos' headlight I would get a heavy and warm duvet and put it on top. The next morning I would wake up with frost smoke and see that the snow we managed to drag in the night before was still powder even if it spent a night in our room.

Here's a small sketch I did of our cabin, if your press the pic it will magically get bigger and easier to read.

But fuck all of that, we had a great time.
The forest had lots of pow and we got to hit pillows, shoot and cruise pow, then it's ok to smell like bear poo mixed with an old man's locker room.

Here are some pics from our trip.

This is the guys I went there with, a sketchy bunch of dudes.

Don't fucking mess with Flo Eckhardt.

I wouldn't mess with Marco Feichtner either.

hey there

2008-12-23T08:07:00.003+01:00

Man, seems like the days before Christmas flew by a bit too fast for me.
Sorry, I know I gave you a pinky swear to update the other day, and I didn't . So I did the only honourable thing, I chopped my pinky off, so now we're even.

Lately I've been trying to catch up on all the stuff I have to do before Christmas, but that's all secrets, so I can't tell you anything about it here. What' I'll do in stead is give you this small update, then start writing a new one about my last days in Austria as soon as this one is posted, kinda to make it up to you, 2-in 1 kinda.

a little treat

2008-12-19T20:16:00.001+01:00

I'm back home, way too tired to post a real post, I'm gonna work on one for tomorrow. Pinky swear.

A day in Austrian mountains

2008-12-14T18:54:00.007+01:00

Today I woke up by a gentle knock on the door as Flo the pirate filmer violently pulled me out of a magical dream land. After a hard day of shoveling, hiking, riding and crashing you really appreciate those few hours behind shut eyes.
Unfortunately Sani caught a cold or something the previous day and couldn't join us, so Flo, Carlos and I headed out to meet up with Gigi to do a little secret spot. See, that's the thing, you kinda want to keep what you're doing a secret so it will be a surprise when the pics and film clips come out in about a years time. Damn we're a secret future-orientated society, like a mix between Star Wars and the freemason society. The spot we had planned and already built the day before definitely needed some more fine tuning. Both of our first tries looked and felt like high speed collisions. So we fixed and hit it while the wind was trying to knock us over everytime we stood up. It was like a storm up there, hurricane Austrina, definitely making everything way more sketchy than it already was.
I wish I could show you some pics of the actual session, but the high priest of shrediquette has a bunch of unwritten rules about stuff like that, so you'll have to wait, check out our film in October 09 in stead.

Here's some pics Carlos Blanchard took while we were cruising around doing some fun stuff while waiting for the wind to calm the fuck down.

Gigi and I hanging out on a bunch of bricks.

Power stance, wind in hair, I 'm basically a music video right there.

The OK signal which means "are you ready for this sick shit Carlos?"

Carlos was ready and BOOM! banger shot!! I stomped the hell out of this one.

This is our office.

These are without the best pics on the blog so far. Shitloads of thanks to Carlos Blanchard for these Damned Danny's Days visual aid's.

hey there

2008-12-13T20:54:00.003+01:00

soooo...
I'm in Austria, not gonna blame the internet connection for the lack of updates, it's all me, I suck.
Been so tired after shredding really, going to bed at 10 and up at 7 every day, but it's been fun.
Tomorrow I'm heading out with Sani Alibabic and possibly Gigi Rüf for some fun times up in the mountain. I'm guessing we're gonna do tricks, snowboard tricks. Flo and Carlos are gonna do the shooting, those guys are good at shooting. I'll also try to take some pics with my fantastic cam phone, the one that takes really crappy and blurry pics, you know? I'm propably gonna forget all about it though, so don't get your hopes up.
Well anyways, I talked to my buddy Mario who has a really unhealthy relationship with Norwegian food. I promised him to do a blog update so I guess this it. This one counts right?

Going to Austria

2008-12-09T23:03:00.003+01:00

It's been snowing quite a lot and I'm stoked, flying to Austria tomorrow to do some pre-christmas shred. I'll try to keep this shit broadcaster updated while I'm down there, only problem is that Austria is a slightly technologically challenged country, so we'll see if there's any internet to be found.
Just found my visa card too, not that it gonna help that much, paying with a visa card is still close to impossible in Austria.
I'm fucking tired, don't even remember what I just wrote about, that was a weird feeling.
good night.

new blog

2008-12-08T13:21:00.000+01:00

I'm stepping up in the blogging game! One giant step for me, a pretty small step for mankind.
Anyway, check out our new Whiteout Unestablished Blog!

Sunday bloody sunday.

2008-12-07T07:44:00.001+01:00

Been up since 6 A.M, trying to read up before an exam. It's a great feeling of accomplishment when you have done control questions for two big and heavily theoretically chapters before 8 A.M and on only one cup of coffee.

Anyway, I'm starting to to feel like having a break soon, not right now (well obviously I have a small break to write this), so I was thinking I might hit up my local hill Kirkerud.
I have to wait until 11 o'clock because that's when they open. It's gonna be a fun little break, good to get out a bit and enjoy yourself after tormenting your soul with horrible formulations, academic language and theories conjured out of thin air (or so it seem at least). I don't get why
more people don't do this. I understand that it's expensive to get out there but it's so much fun and exercise at the same time.. Wow, that really made me sound like a lame old fart, "fun and exercise."
What I meant to say; It's like totally awesome brah, shreddin' the gnar and work that bod yo! Get all radical for the honeys wit' some sweeeeeet moves, ya heard!

This is Kirkerud, this is where I'm going to get my shred on, cowabunga.
Actually that pic is pretty cool, I have to go there tomorrow morning and take a pic at 6 a.m or something, definitely worth it. Click the pic to see a updated pic, if you look like around 11 o'clock you actually might see me, look out for me, I'm the only dude who's done with puberty and on a snowboard there.

a nice quote

2008-12-06T14:05:00.000+01:00

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized God doesn’t work that way, so I stole
one and prayed for forgiveness.

Most embarrassing you tube moment.

2008-12-04T16:33:00.000+01:00

Most embarrassing moment in Norwegian TV-History actually, and I'm gonna share it with you.
I guess it's true what they say, cocaine is one hell of a drug.

This is gold, pure historical gold, holy shit this is funny in an extremely uncomfortable way.

Take it away Ragnar Otnes.

Can you feel that nasty feeling of embarrassment you get just by watching this? It makes you cringe, you wanna look away but you can't.Just the way he says burger in the beginning? Boor-gehr, buhr-grr, boorg-her.

"Are you ready to jump the burger in the moon?" WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!
"He's gonna Kickah da burgah!"
"I don't know, I don't know whyyyyyy!"
"ahahahey, come on, let's keep it loooow!"

Obviously back in 92 hip-hopers talked like car selling tv preachers with a danish accent and a very limited vocabulary.

I fucking love this clip.

Park Pirate Log

2008-12-03T16:04:00.000+01:00

This kicker looks fun like hell.
It's just raining 1080s, still I prefer the fs 3s they are doing though, I love fs 3s because they look fucking cool and are way more fun to do than 1080s.
Check out the video on www.pirate-movie-production.com or subscribe to the pirates podcast so you get a notification in iTunes when there's a new one, that's what happened to me today.
Anyway, touch the pic anyway you like, if you do it right you will be sent to the episode.

Holga pics

2008-12-01T16:45:00.000+01:00

Here are some Holga shots I took last season.

Cory Little and Kevin Winkel blocking the view during my first baseball game ever. I ate a Chillidog, had beer, heckled the batter, got a foam hand and saw a homerun.. Didn't get to sing along to "let's go to the ballpark" or whatever it's called.

Kevin shoots beer cans from his porch, damn no-good empty beer cans!

Fucking beer cans, get of my property!

Getting ready to shoot in one of my favorite places to shoot, Røldal in Norway.. Norway can be pretty depressing every now and then. Kinda hard to tell from this pic, but it is.

Tyler Chorlton, Carlos Blanchard and Gigi Rüf are rolling an enormous snowball bigger than the one Flo Eckhardt is posing by. We did tricks on that pole sticking out of the house.

Tj Schneider straight-lining a pretty flat field one foot. He did a ballerina move the second after my shutter clicked.

Driving to Cooke city, funky colors, Holga does those funny things every now and then.

A little collage of pics I took of Gigi and Tyler.

Gigi waiving in Alrberg, besides waiving he's pretty good at riding in Arlberg too.

Kalle Ohlson and his nosespray, the best pic of last season.

Check out the new pirate log from one of my favorite trips this season, Cooke city.
Simply push the pic below and you'll be gently escorted in to winter wonderland.

Methods, just got to love'em.

Josh Sherman, stoked about the snow in Cooke city, haha, what a kook!

So Hot Right Now, no wait, so hot right then I mean.

2008-11-27T13:23:00.000+01:00

So hot right now!
It's funny how that has turned in to a normal saying, is it all because of Will Ferrel's character in Zoolander? What's his name again, Mugatu, Mugato? Anyway, sooooo hot right now.

Method mag did a So hot right now check out with me some years ago and I just found it on the web, I love finding old stuff like that! It's a sick video, Opening part by Jules Reymond and closer by me, Markus Keller is the middle seat bitch on this one. It's a fun little film, I just wished I knew how many years ago this was, I'm guessing 48 years ago..

Wait, I think it was 4 years, anyway, press that picture of me to check it out.

shredding in Oslo!

2008-11-26T22:10:00.000+01:00

First day of shredding in Oslo today, fucking sick.
Went with my buddy Tom and we caught air all night, pretty epic.
We also had a photo shoot with my Holga, banger shots guaranteed. errr.. let me rephrase that, probably no banger shots, but I'm putting my money on amusing and enjoyable shots, those are the best ones.
this entire post was written with my right hand only since I'm eating chincken with the left one. I'm a multitasking machine that loves chicken.

Slayer LIVE!!

2008-11-25T07:32:00.000+01:00

A night of highlights!
Seeing Slayer live is fucking rad, seeing Slayer live for free is just fucking hopelessly awesome.

This is what I got at the ticket counter, Playboard kicks anyone's ass, anytime, anywhere.

Here are some highlights from the night:

- They played the new song Psychopathy red, that song kicks ass, Slayer old-school greatness! Holy shit, it sounds like Araya got Rabies and tries to beat every one up through the mic.

- Angel of Death, no need to explain why this was one of the highlights, "Auschwitz, the meaning of pain, the way that I want you to die!" Kinda fucking creepy having a big picture of Dr Mengele and Hitler on the big screen, just making it painfully clear what the song is about.

- Raining blood, everyone went fucking mental, the whole stadium was a mess of headbanging and horns. I had a hard time paying attention to what was going on on stage, was too busy banging my head off.

This is during the "thunderstorm" of Raining blood.

- Season in the abyss, one of my absolute favorites, no reason to say why I absolutely loved this.

- Jihad, the intro alone makes this a scary moment.

- South of heaven, started with some lame animation of 3 crosses slowly turning in to 3 upside down crosses. They definitely get a minus for the lame big screen, showing a screen saver of Slayer graphics, but who cares with a song like that?

- The Animal. Infamous Norwegian party monster that fuels on alcohol. After the third song, the Animal stripped down to shirtless and had his own moshpit with no one else participating. The Animal basically started 20 fights within 20 minutes but luckily he's an intimidating creature so no one, except one of the singers in Purified in Blood dared to do anything about it. The Animal is no match for that dude, so he was politely but firm forced to the ground, they're friends though, so all good fun.

After the show was over I couldn't help to think "how the hell do all those guys stay chubby? The energy level is that of an hyperactive 16 year old on speed. Headbanger galore all night long and the guys are well in to their 40's. I hope that's me when I reach the golden age of midlife crisis.

SLAYER!!

2008-11-24T11:47:00.000+01:00

Fuck yeah, SLAYER live in Oslo tonight!

Thanks to Ole and the guys and the guys in Purified in Blood I got a ticket to Slayer, thank you so fucking much guys!

Unholy Alliance!!

Too lazy to write something, so instead you can read what Kalle wrote about our US trip by clicking that pic of us in the Studio.

G'N'R

2008-11-22T12:18:00.000+01:00

I have been a hardcore Guns N Roses fan for a long, long time. I believe that Appetite for Destruction is the best album ever made and still wear all my Guns N roses t-shirts with pride.
Naturally I was a bit worried when I heard Axl was gonna make his own album without the rest of the guys some 14 years ago. Guns N Roses without Izzy Stradlin was a hard pill to swallow, but as long as they had Slash, Duff and Axl I was happy. Of course the drummers changed too, but I'm not that into drums, I'm not capable to pick drummers apart, so whoever played was the same to me (even though I liked Steven Adler's rawer drumming better, Matt Sorum's drumming was fucking insane as well). But that Axl would do an album without the fucking essence of the band was definitely disappointing. But then again, he wrote a lot of the best songs, so in theory he could pull it off.

On http://www.myspace.com/gunsnroses is the fruits of 14 years labour out for free listening, that's pretty cool of them, to put the whole album out on myspace so people can check it out. It's like a 5 year old who shows his mom that he managed to make a combination of dogshit, mud and boogers look like boogers, mud and dog shit. Holy fuck this album is horrible! Axl has fucking spent 14 years planning how to rape my ears through speakers. It hurts! WHAT THE FUCK! Electronica/Techno beats and industrial/electro sampling?! (You have to bear with me with those expressions, I have no idea what qualifies as techno or electronica, I just know it sucks). This is a experiment gone horribly wrong, like inventing Ebola when you're trying to develop a cure for cancer. The worst is that he fucking does it under the Guns N Roses name. Now I'm gonna be slightly ashamed every time I put on my Appetite for Destruction T-shirt, thank you Axl, you fucked it all up! Guns N roses is no longer my favorite band, it used to be back in the days.

I'm not even gonna bother to put a pic of the album up, even the cover sucks.

Fucking sick Metal Album!

2008-11-21T10:40:00.000+01:00

Been listening to the new Dead Trooper album night and day lately.
HOLY SHIT!
Fucking best metal album I heard in a long time.
I just checked itunes, it's now on 17 plays, but I've been listening to it in my car too.

"I see you're scared, and I like it!"

Transworld Web interview

2008-11-20T10:27:00.000+01:00

I'm fucking over-compensating for the lack of posts lately, I'm spamming my own blog.
Well, I got a lot on my mind and really don't want to sit down and study for an exam.
I better though, all of that stuff is still Greek to me, let's make that Chinese, even harder.

Anyway, when I was over in California I got to stop by the Transworld office to do a web interview.
If you think that could be somewhat interesting I urge you to fucking click that pic of me in the Folgefonna sunset and check it out/check es aus (German is easier than both Greek and Chinese).
To those of you that came to my blog from the Transworld site, I guess this is not news to you, but that's reality, sometimes life gives you shit apples.

Danny Larsen VS Lanny Darsen.

2008-11-20T10:04:00.001+01:00

Who wants a free board, even though it means dressing up like me?
I know, it's quite a sacrifice, not to mention embarasing, but if you enter the "Dress up like Danny Larsen, be Lanny Darsen" contest at www.k2snowboarding.com you will be able to win a limited edition K2 WWW rocker.

Press the pic to check how you can get in on the action.

This is what you can win, I even scribbled some shit on the nose. That board is fucking rad though, a jib board with rocker, buttery ass tight, that's what that is.

More of our preseason riding in September, remember?
Damn son, I'm like fucking Jay-Z up in this hizzy, spittin' out rhymes like there was no tomorizzy.

Click da pic, watch me ride my preseason shred stick.

Judas Priest?

2008-11-19T12:05:00.000+01:00

No idea if this is true or not, but I choose to believe, faith is where it's at I guess.
Press the pic to check out a video clip featuring his band, Fratello Metallo. He got an awesome scream at the end, heavy metal monks is definitely the new black metal.

Back home

2008-11-18T23:55:00.000+01:00

Holy crap shit.
I've been fucking worse at blogging than O.J at not breaking the law.
But fear not, I'm back home with a bit more stable internet connection and a bit more than 10 minutes each day to update this piece of crap blogspot.

I'm probably gonna get sued for this, but I stole this pic from Transworld Snowboarding's website. Go visit their website.

Cliff dropping in November, damn straight.

Riding in Mammoth

2008-11-17T20:11:00.000+01:00

I didn't post any pics because I like to lie. I never planned to post any pics, I just wanted to raise your hopes and then crush them. Actually I was just too lazy, but I made a small movie in stead. Here it is.

Going to Mammoth

2008-11-13T20:58:00.000+01:00

I'm going to Mammoth now, have to check out in 2 minutes, that's why this is so short.
I'll post pics soon. Pinky swear.

Jetlag fuelled insomnia

2008-11-12T13:01:00.001+01:00

It's 4 in the morning, been wide awake for 2 hours and no chance in hell of getting back to sleep.
Drew from the pirate crew came in about an hour ago, he said that he had been handcuffed for no apparent reason and the officers threatened to put him in jail because he was pissed off that they handcuffed him. They had a suspicion that Drew and 9 of his friends had found the time to break in to a car while going home from a party in a taxi. Sounds quite logical to me, take a taxi home from a party, stop for 5 minutes to break into a car while the meter is running and continue in the same taxi to an afterparty where your friends that you're with live. I'm so happy that cops back home treat you as a suspect instead of a criminal if they believe you have done something illegal.
Well, end of story is that they threatened to put him in jail if he ever opened his mouth to a LAPD again, nice.

We on the other hand had a nice and quite evening. Had a dinner in Venice together with some friends of Sani. After we were done eating, Sani's face suddenly turned hot red, his eyes started watering up and he lost feeling in his arms, not the perfect reaction to a good meal. He started swaying a bit from side to side while he told us what was pretty fucking obvious, he was not feeling very well. It was really scary actually, he said his heart started pumping like crazy and he felt his face getting super warm. That's also the first time he ever reacted like that to any kind of food. So we payed and discussed whether we should go to the hospital or not. Sani is a man so he went with the good ol' "I'll try to sleep it off" routine.S We got back in that car and got a ride back when I started to fee really fucking warm as well, by the time I got out of the car Kalle said something in the lines of "holy fuck your face is red!" Then the headache kicked in, my eyes went red and I started feeling rather shitty. When I got into my room I saw that my upper torso also had turned into an interesting mix of Norwegian pale and British sunburned red. The fucked part is that both Sani and I had the same Tuna dish. I have no idea what they put in that dish, but I'm never going back, that's for sure. I wonder what the hell that was, at least I'm feeling better now though.

LA

2008-11-12T02:49:00.001+01:00

I'm in LA, sitting at a hotel and desperately fighting jetlag.
Jetlag's a bitch.
I had a cup of coffee that was about the size of a bathtub which is starting to kick in, so hopefully my head will soon understand that I'm asking it to work overtime.
I'm probably gonna wake up at 5.30 A.M tomorrow, so I'll write more then.

wow, what an incredibly boring post...

New Slayer song!

2008-11-10T16:13:00.000+01:00

my first spam bar!

it's pouring down.

2008-11-10T10:54:00.000+01:00

Norway isn't exactly pretty in the fall.
Imagine that you eat a gallon of gray oil paint, 1 pound of dead leaves, digest it for about 5 hours and puke it up while it's raining. That's pretty much what our reality looks like up here and it's not doing wonders for my mood. I have pulled the drapes. I'm also going to put on some music and make a cup of coffee, it's just a matter of blocking reality while I get some work done at home. Escaping reality is what Norway is all about in the fall.

This is my local hill Kirkerud at its current state.

But who the fuck cares anyway? I'm leaving for LA tomorrow and I'm happy that my snowboard season has started even though it's mainly a promo tour for Overseas. It's gonna be a week filled up with cruising around in California and I'm pretty stoked. The end of our tour will be a 3 day premier/shred session up in Mammoth. Mammoth is great, they got snow already, check out this video I stole from some friends, pretty radical.

Mammoth Opening Week from Some dudes that I know on internet video site.

The action at 1:24 looks pretty sketchy, but damn it looks fun. Isn't that the song that the uncle in Home Alone sings in the shower, you know, the one that Macklukli Cucklin's character records and plays when he's moving that inflatable clown around in the shower to scare of that dude in the New York hotel?

snowboard awards

2008-11-07T17:28:00.000+01:00

Today is the Norwegian snowboard awards. I know who's winning the rookie awards, it's not a big surprise who gets it. I might write about it tomorrow.
It's freezing and rainy out, what a great evening. I'll jump in the shower now, need to be clean when I put on a shirt and tie. That's right, I'm a classy mytherfycker.

Damn it!

2008-11-06T15:41:00.000+01:00

Well, didn't get to snowboard today, my car is fucked and I had to take it to the shop.
Awesome, just fucking awesome.
I read a book in stead, so at least my brain got something out of it.

Gonna snowboard today.

2008-11-06T10:23:00.000+01:00

Planning to do handplants.
It's good to have a plan, it makes everything more efficient.
Fuck fun and creativity.
Speaking of fun and creativity, if you're into that stuff and like snowboarding as well, I suggest you check out the snowboard realms.
TJ Schneider (who actually got a cameo part in my part this year) has just launched the second season of the snowboard realms. It looks like a new season of shred fun with herr Schneidermeier, you even have the chance to to hook up with him and get your face in one of the episodes.

So press the pic and go to www.thesnowboardrealms.com

These are my seconds of fame in snowboard realms last year. No snow don't stop us, we had taken no control pills for a week before we shot this. I tried to take som loose goose injections to even it out, but it didn't work. Next time I'll just slap on a silly willy patch.

Some prints

2008-11-05T20:11:00.000+01:00

Went to a printing place to put some of my drawings on paper.
Turned out pretty good, I'm stoked.
Gonna try to find birthday presents for my mom and dad, not stoked, it's fucking impossible to find something for those two.

No idea why I show you these pictures, they look like shit here.. well well.

U.S Election

2008-11-04T09:33:00.000+01:00

The Election is on..
This one goes out to Americans reading this, do the rest of the world a favor and vote. Your presidential election affects the rest of the world a great deal and I would love to see as many as possible vote.
If you are going to vote, vote over politics in stead of what picture the media paints of personalities, they are usually misleading and won't help at all to elect the most suited leader for USA. So take a look at this webpage, it lists up 10 big differences between Obama and Mccain's politics, so read it and base your decission on who you believe will be better for America and the rest of the world, seems to me that the choice is quite obvious but I'm not going to try and affect your decission, make up your own mind.
Here's the link again.

Monday fucking morning

2008-11-03T13:26:00.000+01:00

Well, it's far from morning, but still it's Monday.
I don't really mind Mondays, they're just another day in the week. Only boring part about this weekday is that everyone is at work or school. I'm usually at home trying to study or do something useful, but it's really boring. Holy fuck, it's pretty fucked up that people cheat the system to be able to stay on welfare and just hang out at home all the time, what a fucking dead end life.
I'm gonna go and read and learn something after I'm done writing this.
You, my dear reader, is priority number one. Well, second after having a cup of coffee, that 's priority number one, but I'm good at multitasking so you will be in a shared first place, you lucky son of a bitch.
At the moment I just want to shred (that's my job, so I'm actually trying to be productive, kinda).
Actually I went shredding yesterday, we went to a small hill where I started snowboarding back in the days. We put up a small set up of 2 flat boxes like a flat down and had a nice little session. It was good to do the good ol' "hike whatever we have" routine. I'm going back as soon as possible, cause that shit was fun.

Here's some pics from my weekend. I have absolutely no idea why I think any of you might find this interesting, but what the hell, people seem to enjoy Kanye West so I guess there's a lot of stuff I'm not supposed to understand.

Birger from Dead Trooper came over for tacos and beer, that was nice. He showed me a unfinished version of their new album and it's truly fucking great. I'm really looking forward to it's completely finished, because that was some seriously good metal, it's going on constant repeat. In this picture we don't play metal, we play blues and make retarded faces. People call me "gold arm" for obvious reasons.

This is the first thing I saw when I entered a metal club filled up with people dressed up as something that had been stabbed. The funny thing about metal clubs at Halloween is that it's hard to figure out if people have dressed up or not, I mean if you go there on a regular day
you will see that about 50% of the people look like they're going to a vampire or Matrix party.

Birger was on the retarded face program all night.

On the way to shred-Sunday I passed the most ghetto tree house in history. It looks like a crack house for kids.

This is the hill where I started snowboarding, in the ghetttooooo! It's actually a nice place, but this is what Norway looks like in the fall, does it make sense why Norwegian play and listen to Black metal now? Oh, they're rebuilding the kindergarten, that's why it looks extra hobo-ish.

mini Kamp K2, Hintertux, Mega post.

2008-10-30T11:35:00.000+01:00

As promised, here it is.

Together with my girlfriend Gro I flew down to Munich on Friday to attend the mini Kamp K2, a happening organized by K2 to make sure we get to shred and drink beer, yes my job is great.

We decided to first have a day in Munich,'cause Munich is a rad city to hang out in. First we checked in to our hotel which was situated in the kebab/porn district of Munich and called up Christain Brecheis. We met him after we had some great sushi at my favorite central European sushi restaurant.

I found a Bob's Brigade sticker outside the restaurant.

I figured out that I have probably been in Munich 2 million times, but basically stay in the same little area every time. So Christian decided to give us a tour of the city, what a nice thing to do! Finally we managed to squeeze in some culture between the usual stops. He even showed us a church that the devil himself helped building. Satan wasn't pleased with the result and left pissed of, leaving the wind he came riding in on. Stupid satan.

Munich, pretty.

Here's a church. We were very cultural that day. All the decorations are wooden carvings painted white.

Christian had to leave us after some coffee, coffee is still the new black, so we decided to try out some of Munich's famous beer halls. We asked for two beers and this is what we got; 1 maas each (a maas is a litre of beer).

You know trouble is ahead when you got a beer that's bigger than your head. Word-magician Larsen strikes again.

After the maas had kick-started our night we decided to spend some time in our hotel, playing internet and talking to some American art students who were pretty artsy. One of them painted fish, someone have to I guess. We stayed in our hotel and met up with friends who helped us to build up a nice hangover for the next morning. Thanks Anke and Steve!

Damn, this is starting to get boring..

Anyway, we drove to Austria the next morning, got to Hintertux and met up with the European marketing coordinator for K2 or something fancy like that. His name is Andy and is basically a fucking rad dude. He handed us some lift tickets and some beer in one of those fancy beer cozies that I showed you here. It helped my hand to stay warm while I enjoyed a cold beer, what a marvelous invention!

I wish I had some pictures of the riding, but I was too busy riding to shoot pictures. It was just too much fun. But I will let you know that air was being caught and slashes were made, hell, I even stomped a few. How about that! Pretty rad huh? The rest of our weekend looked like this:

- Meet up with people and drink beer, courtesy of K2.
- Eat food and drink some more beer.
- Go to bed around midnight so we could be ready for shredding.
- Wake up at 7.30, have some breakfast and shred the whole day in bluebird in a well shaped park.
- Repeat.

We even got to go in to a fucking scary cave. I'm claustrophobic so I almost died in there from heart attack. It was so god damn tight with no end in sight, my heart was trying to break free and run screaming and crying out by itself. Damn coward heart.
Here's a pic from the cave, this was pretty nice and roomy, we could even stand erect like normal human sapiens should do.

Gro and Flo, lights by another Flo I think, kinda hard to tell. Everyone in the German speaking world are either called Flo, Basti or Alex. hmmmm.. maybe it's Vittus with the light? His name got a funny meaning in Finish.

Gro in a tighter, but still quite roomy part of the cave.

After a great weekend, we decided to stay another night in Mayerhofen. Nothing exciting happened at all, I saw a deer but I have seen a deer before, I was not impressed. If they wanna impress me they better show me a bear or something. A deer, woopdeedoo, big deal.
I saw this sticker in town though, that's our crew from back in the days. No idea who put it up, but it made me happy.

G-Had! Gangsta crew fo rizzle!

Next day we drove to Innsbruck, said hi to the Method mag guys, and bye to Ludschi who's soon leaving for China. On the way to Munich we stopped at McDonalds to get some lunch. I know that it's extremely uncreative to point out that the burgers you get at McDonalds don't look like the pictures they show you, but this one was too good to go unnoticed... Come on McDonals, at least try to deliver what you promise.

mmmm.. I guess this thing will contain lots of bacon and Jalapeños.

Looking pretty good so far.Where's Waldo is lame, try playing Where's the Jalapeño! Actually there is two jalapeños in this picture.

This is bacon, who needs more than two soggy bacon strips that have slowly taken the color and shape of a STD anyways?

This picture is a lie.

This is us leaving Innsbruck and McDonalds, I'm not happy but Gro is because she got antlers.

After that great meal we went back to Munich, returned our rental car, stored our boardbags at the main station and headed over to Anke and Lolli's place. Got a super special "got to be friends with the magazines"screening of That's it, That's all. I never thought I would like that film, but it's actually fucking amazing. I loved it, not like a shred-flick, but as a great film with awesome snowboarding in it. Here's a little spoiler, they have about 10 tripod shots in the entire film.
After a nice dinner, some beers and a screening of the bonus section of IsenSeven's Teenage Love Graffiti we went to bed. Got up next morning and took the train to the airport. It was fast, look at the background, impossible to make out what you're seeing because we were going so fast.. brrrrrmmmm.

Gro likes fast trains.

We got to the airport, waited for about 5-6 hours and flew home annoyed with the Munich airport. Oslo was covered in a great soft and fluffy blanket of fresh snow that has turned into a grey and wet mash of slush and dead leaves today.. Autumn is great.
Here's a picture of Gro being really fucking stoked about snow in October.

Happy!

Outside my door when I came home.

That's it, that's all... a long blog post.
I'll make shorter ones soon.
maybe.
who knows.
take care.

Back!

2008-10-29T23:42:00.000+01:00

And I'm fucking tired.
left form Munich today.. 10 minutes after we were supposed to leave from Munich , our plane left from Oslo.
That meant that we had to wait in Munich for the plane to come from Oslo, be fixed up or whatever they do to the planes between flights.
The reason why it was so delayed was that winter has hit Norway, I landed in winter wonderland.
I'll tell you all about it tomorrow, going to bed now... fuuuuuucking tired.

Retardaustrianism here I come!

2008-10-23T20:15:00.000+02:00

mmmm...
This White Russian is delicious, mmmmm.
It's packing time, and packing is something I hate doing without a drink.
Anyways, going down to Austria tomorrow to shred a little bit with K2.
Shredding is pretty fucking rad by the way, agree?
I'm so excited that K2 is arranging this thing called Kamp K2 where they invite a bunch of people to come shred and enjoy silly amounts of beer with us in Hintertux, Austria. Hintertux is rumoured to be really good right now and my fingers are crossed for lovely weather. Foggy snowboardparks is the new neon, bluebird is the new black.
Only thing is that I get really stupid when I travel to Austria, so we'll see if I manage to figure out how to blog down there. If there's no posts in a couple of days, it's because I got another case of Retardaustrianism.

Cheerio!

JOKKE!!!

2008-10-23T15:42:00.000+02:00

Some of the best music to come out of Norway.

R.I.P Jokke.

Thanks for the music

After receiving this.

My desktop looked like this.

Package from K2!

2008-10-21T11:36:00.001+02:00

As I already mentioned, I fucking love getting stuff from my sponsors (I guess it's not that hard to understand why). It feels like Christmas every time that delivery guy shows up on my front door. It's always the same guy by the way, I wonder if he's trying to figure out what I'm up to since I keep getting these weirdly shaped boxes.
After my last "box post" post, my Team Manager at K2 said "Just wait until you get your next one from K2", and here it is! An all-time high, best package EVER! (if you wanna learn more about EVER, check out k2's catalog, best catalog EVER!)

I am a sucker for stuff like this.

Ohhhhh, big! That's my "I have no idea what this is" - pose. Quite similar to my french impersonation pose.

Flat like Holland!

And this what that magical box of mysteries was filled up with.

Measure your stands son, uhhh!

Flip flops made of harsh mellow! Mmmm, cushiony. K2 puts that stuff into bindings to make them cushiony like these flip flops.

Ice scrapes, because global warming has officially been canceled, we'll need them. I had to scrape my car for ice last week, these would have been handy then.
Ah... Ice scraper-mustache, clever.

Air fresheners, makes your car smell like rockers... they are Jack Daniels scented!

Foam hand with horns! Guitar for extra rocker points.

A beer cozy. Didn't have a beer to put in it though.

Posters!

When in doubt throw out the horns! That's the pirate tour tee on the left by the way.

The grand finale, a life size poster of myself, haha!

Some photos

2008-10-21T10:40:00.000+02:00

I love Holga.
I'll see if I can't get some other analog camera to work too, they are really nice, and getting one of those badass big digi cams are a bit too expensive.
Here are some Holga pics I took this winter/spring.

Peter Lundström, Austria, awesome.

Different pictures of Tyler and Gigi. Tyler got a yellow jacket, Gigi got red or black one.
Only pic where they're not together is the upper left one, that's because Tyler is sitting next to me, I think it is a part of his backpack you can see in the lower right corner.

Hans Åhlund happy in Las Vegas. He won 100 bucks right after I shot this.

My Team Manager Kevin Winkel does NOT like trespassers.

Pigeons humping.

Gro in NY, that famous building in the back looks like it's about to fall over.

I bought some pointy shoes here.

Kalle doesn't look that good in this picture, but it's still my favorite. He had a bad cold and was truly dependent on that nose spray to be able to breath. He is not a desperate junkie trying to get some glue in to his system, it just really looks like it.

Morten's new tatoo

2008-10-18T01:45:00.000+02:00

Morten in Dead Trooper sent me a file asking which one I thought he should get tattooed.

He did the artwork in Word. Morten is pretty damn hardcore. We talked it over and he got this one instead.

Morten is metal, very metal, it turned out fucking great! Buy their music!

Method interview sneak peek.

2008-10-15T11:22:00.000+02:00

I already mentioned my interview in Method mag, but here's a chance to have little looksie of what you can expect. The rest of the mag is filled up with awesome shred stuff, so go and buy it.
Everyone should buy snowboard mags and snowboardfilms, it's a small donation to keep the industry alive. So if you love snowboard as much as I do, help out.

Press the pic to look at some previews at K2's website. It's too small to be read, so go and buy it and read about all the other cool stuff as well.

Sweden premiere, hell weekend part 2.

2008-10-13T10:53:00.000+02:00

After setting Oslo on fire we got in the car 11 AM on Saturday and started our trip to Gothenburg, Sweden. First we picked up Jocki and Mike Lundmark (Nikki Sixx's younger brother I think) at Oslo central station and saw a still not quite sober Kalle Ohlson driving scared passed uniformed cops. On the way to Sweden we witnessed some rather hopeless and sketchy driving by Mr. Ohlson, but once again, if it makes us laugh it's OK.
The mood in the car definitely got better when Mike and I stopped at the border to Sweden (stuff in Sweden is a lot cheaper than in Norway) and got some beer. While Gro was driving and Jocki was sleeping, Mike and I started our own little car party.
After a while we got to Gothenburg, nearly crashed a hundred times thanks to Kalle's crazy GPS instructions (the GPS didn't take crap from anyone and did whatever it felt like with absolutely no respect for traffic rules). Thanks to an extremely sketchy u-turn we lost Kalle and had to find the Hotel ourselves, Gro did a great job not crashing in that crazy city.

We got to our hotel (oldest in Gothenburg by the way) and checked in, while Gro went for a nap I decided to visit my Danish friends, the Danish Dynamites, Peder and Peter, who decided to come up to Sweden and party with us. In case you're wondering, a no-smoking room doesn't mean that Dnish people won't smoke in their room, it just means that they spray some perfume in their room after they have smoked out of their windows for a couple of hours. After a nice pre-pre-party Gro showed up and was escorted gently into the mist by the Danish duo's Vodka. We teamed up with Kalle, Frida and her sister plus friend and headed over to Gamla Porten where Patrik Lundin had a special VIP party in our honor, we're basically like Paris Hilton in Gothenburg. We ate and we drank, more free booze was served and after a while Mike and infamous Swedish snowboard legend Cosse showed up, I think Mike won the party around 8 o'clock, how he was granted access to the bar no one knows.

Knowing what the free booze would do to me the next day I decided to flip the bottles of. Not very sophisticated or deep but it made me feel better.

After a while the place filled up and everyone had a great time. Then Hans Åhlund decided to grow some balls and asked his girlfriend Marie if she would marry him, and she said yes! So suddenly the whole party turned into a celebration for Hans and Marie, at least it did for me and everyone I remember talking too. Congratulations Hans and Marie!!

Other memorable things that happened:

-Someone stole Gro's Motörhead denim jacket, if it was you, then fuck you.
- The Danish Dynamites came in on a nicely shared second place after Mike with possibly Andreas Gidlund on third.

The Danes resting after a night of fun. I sneaked in to their room after they had fallen a sleep. Taking pictures of sleeping men makes you feel like a nasty pervert.

- Cosse decided to buy us all the shots in Gothenburg and my hangover truly thanks him for that, without those shots my hangover would probably not have lasted until Monday.
- I was the only one sober enough to get into the rock club we wanted to go to, I'm a great illusionist, Cosse and Mike are not great illusionists. Previously I have been thrown out of a rock bar in Gothenburg for headbanging together with Haugo. Rock bars in Gothenburg are weird.
- Cosse is gonna do a comeback this year.
- The Danish Dynamites managed to spend more money on McDonals than I spent on drinks. Next morning Peder found french fries in all of his pockets. Their night time snack included 5 servings of medium fries among other things.
- Jocki's room smelled like an explosion at a brewery 1 PM the next day.

Jocki's room also had an earthquake it looks like.

- The hotel staff thought the Danish room smelled pleasantly of perfume.
- Kalle and Gidlund started their road trip to Austria, check out Kalle's blog to read what they're up to. I know those guys, I know there's gonna be funny stories about sketchy situations in every post. (you can also see more pics from the party on that blog.)

It smells like trouble miles away. If you happen to be on the road somewhere between Gothenburg and Mayerhofen, watch out!

- We got back home safely after spending a nice day in Gothenburg sobering up to drive legally.

Thank you Patrik, thank you Sweden!

Premiere in Oslo, city of Satan

2008-10-13T07:46:00.000+02:00

ah... Finally the Weekend of unholy party obligation is over. We just had the two Scandinavian Pirate premieres in Norway and Sweden, and I'm tired. The premieres are always in the same weekend and you know you got to go all-in on both, no wimping out.
So we started of easy by celebrating the new collaboration t-shirt between Whiteout and Hunting lodge and pre-party with free wine at Hunting Lodge. After we managed to utter enough opinions about random stuff in the store that made no sense we decided to leave for the premiere itself. Together with Kalle Ohlson, Frida Vogler and Jon "teen lover", I had probably the slowest walk through Oslo in history. The Swedes had been a bit better than Jon and I at getting happy and dizzy earlier in the evening, so they slowed us down, but they were really funny at the same time so we didn't mind. Decided to have another pre-party at some bar where we met up with different people, including good ol' friends Tony and Tom and Florent and his lovely Lene. Also met and old friend of Jon that was doing some Uri Geller magic, bars and magicians is a match made in heaven.

After having a spoon bending session, he started to lift beer glasses with his thumb and index finger like this. It was magical.

Let's do a fast forward to the party where every one's drunk in one of the only bars in Norway where you can smoke, they have a big outside area which I think might be heated, not really sure but I wasn't cold so it might have been. Actually my memories from that night are all kind of unclear.

How I remember the party.

How it actually looks through the eye of a crappy iPhone cam.

The place filled up nicely after a while and Bård and Gaute played nice music for us. I remember that it wasn't gangsta, and that was of course disappointing but I still managed to shake my ass in a way that made most people uncomfortable. Session threw the party and was as usual damn good at distributing the infamous party shades, I got some red ones from Inge Wiig's private stash (or at least so he claims), which I lost 30 minutes later. Once again a victim of Freddie Five Finger Discount..
Cruise over to Bloggemateriale and look at their pics, Inge does not allow pictures of him to be taken unless he has either a cigarette or a beer in his hand at any point.
--
special, in-story information.
Blogge-materiale is without a doubt my favorite blog, even though the contributors made it painfully clear for me that I was a snipster Friday night, well well, I guess their right, they're the experts when it comes to spotting snipsters and skipsters. Fuck, I even got a blog, of course I'm a low-life snipster, I'm even wearing a rolled up beanie right now.
--
It's somewhat a tradition for the Oslo premiere of Pirate films to have technical problems with the actual screening. I think we managed to put it on with the right soundtrack the fifth time maybe. Luckily we had screens all over the place so we sent everyone up into the second floor bar where we had our screening. People seemed to like it a lot, and the only criticism was more of the "hey, why was that guy's part in double? Wow, this whole room is in double!" kind.
After the screening we had a much appreciated give-away toss. I gave some slippers to park shaper extraordinaire Emil Fossheim which he claimed saved his life later that evening. He was getting held up by some thugs when he decided to throw the slippers in one of the robbers face and got away. GOOD WORK EMIL! Back at the party Inge got the great idea of taking all the cover charge, splitting it up on three people with one rule to follow, everything was supposed to be spent in the bar that night. So we stood there with a pocket full of cash, buying drinks for everyone standing around, buying friends have reached a new high! Actually it was topped when Inge and I decided that it was even more big baller style to just hand out cash to random people, holy fuck we were big pimpin' that night.

Inge and Jocki ready to buy friendship.

The party was a complete drunken chaos from start to end and the DJs managed to squeeze in one request before we had to give up, Slayer! It all went down with a heavy headbanging session where Haugo got into trouble with the bouncers for spitting all over the place and throwing chairs and tables across the room. "Oh yes, I can see that was not a good idea" was his reply to the pissed of 2 meter high bouncer.
Got home at 4 in the morning, all thanks to Tanny who drove me and Widar back home, good thing, because we left for Gothenburg in Sweden for the next premiere 7 hours later, with my girl Gro behind the wheels.
Thank you Petter, Inge, Pirates, Bård, Gaute and Session(!) for a mayhem of a party, I'm already looking forward to next year!

some more pics:

Ole, Roger'n and Peik didn't make much sense all night, but I've been hired as Ole's personal trainer. Roger had me in a headlock for quite some time and Peik received a lot of my drinking money, I have never seen so many beers dropped to the floor by the same guy.

When we went out of the bar, this guy showed up with a girl in a trashcan. It's the sexual equivalent to boil-in-bag rice.

--------------------------
SPECIAL BULLETIN!
--------------------------
I just found out that the winner of the night was mr Karl-Heniz Auer from Whiteout! After coming home from the party he decided to make a Nutella (chocolate-spread) sandwich. After he failed to sink his teeth into the bread he found out that instead of using bread for his sandwich, he managed to spread Nutella over a tupperware-box top.. That must be some kind of record when it comes to partying.

Calle's late night snack.

Party tonight!

2008-10-10T17:15:00.000+02:00

If you're in Oslo, you better come!

First box of the season.

2008-10-09T18:05:00.000+02:00

Stoked!
It's like Christmas evrytime some sponsor send me a package with stuff, see how happy I am, fresh out of the box hoodie. Didn't managed to take the tag of until I was walking around in the grocery store trying to figure out what was itching under my arm.

shakey and mirror-effect, sooooooooo 2009!

Holocauster.

2008-10-08T22:31:00.000+02:00

Before I start of, I'm not making fun of the holocaust.. that's just too damn harsh.. buuuuut:
---
Sorry, the interview I'm gonna tell you about is in Norwegian, all of you that don't know Norwegian, too bad bud...
Earlier today there was an interview with the sport president thingy of Norway. Lately there's been a big discussion whether we should apply for the winter Olympics in 2018 or not and she's been the one in focus as the decision-taker. She had to bring the bad news that it was a bit too expensive and we couldn't really afford it at the moment. As a result of that she's been getting truckloads of shit from everyone, including threats over sms..
In this interview she explains how hard the last week has been. She compares it with a standing up holocauster she tried in Toronto once, it goes up and down and.. wait... a what? A standing up Holocauster? What the hell?! No wonder she's having a hard week!

Check it out!

HAHAHA!!!

Oslo Premiere for Overseas

2008-10-08T12:36:00.000+02:00

Alrighty-right!
Time to get in part mode again, because on Friday the 10th we will have the Norwegian premiere on our new film Overseas by Pirate Movie Production. It will take place at Fugazi in Oslo, close to Karl Johan, easy to find even if you have warmed up before the party with liquid fun enhancer.

here's the poster, PA means PÅ by the way.

And here's the backside of the poster:
And here's the teaser

bandangadang!!!
Thanks to Session for throwing this party!

Gaute and Bård will play music, so it will definitely be possible to get your groove on, I will also get my groove on if they put on some gangsta shizzz.

Folgefonna killed!

2008-10-07T20:23:00.000+02:00

My buddy Mats just posted this rad movie on his blog-chaos called bloggematriale. It's some sort of collaboration between a bunch of dudes that speak weird dialects and all have connections to Session. You'll probably need a masters degree in fucked up Norwegian dialects to understand anything on their blog though, but they got nice pics and nice vids like this one I just stole from them, that's right bitches, all is fair in blog war!

Watch out for appearances by Mats Willasen, Stian Solberg, Lefso, Jon Sigve, Emil Fossheim, Inge Wiig, me a couple of times (including some badass night time bike riding) and a bunch of other guys having a great time at Folgefonna this summer. Nice vid!

Gore drawings by French

2008-10-07T10:54:00.000+02:00

Don't you just love to look at something and feel attracted in a really morbid way? Like staring at roadkill while saying "eeeewww, nasty, poke it some more!"

Well, let me introduce you to one of my favorite artist at the moment, FRENCH. That is a name by the way, not a nationality, or maybe it is? I have no clue actually, I just like his drawings and I'm pretty sure he's British.
I've been into his work some time before I knew I was. It took me a while before I made the connection between all those scary well-detailed artworks found on skate and snowboards, like Andreas Wiig's board. It was good to finally see that all of those drawings came from the same guy, and that he had a webpage where I could see more of his stuff.

Put on some music that make babies cry and go to his blog or webpage and check it all out.

This last one is great, everyone loves pulled out eyeballs. Make sure you get my version, it will soon be up for sale, I will let you know when.

Interview in Method Mag

2008-10-06T17:32:00.001+02:00

Method mag has just been reborn, and launches the Method 9.1!
I'm pretty stoked to say that I have a long interview in this issue, so this is basically shameless self-promotion. I've had a sneak-peek and the issue looks fucking good...
So run and get yourself a copy of the new Method Mag!

Laurent/ LNP grabs the cover and his board while doing a handplant on a rock. LNP is rad in case you had no fucking clue.

The opening spread for my interview. Norwegian lord of the darkness, not a bad title.

This weekend.

2008-10-06T15:25:00.001+02:00

This weekend I spent cleaning up our appartment. Rock N Fucking Roll!
But who the hell wants to hear about that? I promised my buddy Matt that I would let all of you know that I also spent some time at Ikea on Saturday, Matt got a weird sense of humor, he's British.

While at Ikea I was talking to Matt about having a coffee this week plus robbing vets (the animal kind, not the war kind). Those bastards have been taking a lot of Matt's money lately.
Besides that I got a new skate. Once again I had no clue about what size I prefer or anything like that, I went as always by graphics. First of all, this drawing of Ellington could easily have been a drawing of me, it got an upside-down crossish thing and it's a Appetite for Destruction tribute, best album ever... You just can't go wrong with this board.

Time Zone drunken fun

2008-10-03T13:55:00.000+02:00

I have already talked about this, but I just love the fact that when it's in the middle of the day here, It's coming home from the bar time over in the states. That is a great source to entertainment.
Here are some screenshots from a conversation I had with Björn and Basti that didn't make any sense at all. The only thing I remember they telling me was that they were in Portland, just had a premiere and that they had a lot of beers. It was funny as hell, maybe because they were both extremely happy and made no sense at all. The funniest part was that I didn't know that they were in the US so I thought they were having a midday drinking binge.. That would not be very typical for those two guys, good thing it was the normal kind of drinking which happens at night.

I told them "hey guys, I'm taking screenshots and you guys are giving me gold here". Björn's reply today was "Hey man, we should take snapshots in the bar"...Yes we should Björn, but it's a bit to late seeing that you left the bar some time ago, but good thinkimg! Sleep tight boys!
